Question
postgres packages not found during install
I was referred to this article http://hendrelouw73.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/how-to-install-postgresql-9-1-on-ubuntu-12-10-linux/ by someone on this forum for installing Postgres on ubuntu, but when I tried to install 9.2.3 (rather than 9.1 version described in the article), I ran into the following problem
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.2.3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package postgresql-9.2.3
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'postgresql-9.2.3'
I then tried to install 9.2 (leaving off the 3 at the end) like below but ran into a different problem.
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package postgresql-9.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'postgresql-9.2' has no installation candidate
